Progress

got tired of it languishing and decided to get things going again.

Funny, I've tried to start several times in the last couple of months, but every time I realized I didn't have a tap to chase the treads, then I didn't have thread sealer.... ???

I had to throw one in for the obsessive one   ;D

Thanks Carmen, too bad they didn't orient correctly.

In my folder they are all correct.

Duh  ::)  much better view.

I landed the distributor so I can adjust the valve lash by doing one rotation.

It is NOT timed correctly. I just dropped it in, and taped down the position with the Vac advance nipple perpendicular to the block.

I have the crankshaft at TDC on #1 cylinder, in the firing position.

I marked 8 sharpy points on the rim of the distributor so as I make the rotation, I can adjust the lifters in each position relative to the firing order. 18436572

Or was it 8675309?  ::)

"Jammin Jenny who can I turn to? For the price of a dime I can always turn to you"

You pry know that AT&T had to remove that phone number from all area codes...What a blast!

My daughter used that as a Zoom password recently

Don't know why I never needed these on older engines, but you can't do without them now.

A local shop mechanic lent me them, worked great!!

Found some vintage '70's (or so the seller said) valve covers.

What do you think?
